I think I’ve talked about this before but the demonization of polyamory by the gay community on tumblr is really weird and boring.

Like the way people talk about it on here you’d think all polyamorous people are sex crazed abusive hets that are explicitly anti-lesbian or something but like,,, polyamory is and has been a significant part of the lesbian community for a long while and if you guys went outside for two seconds you’d know that lol

Idk like I’ve dated girls who get all their lesbian politics from this hellsite who described polyamory as “a toxic manifestation of queer theory” that was contrary to her marriage-gay ways, like, while we were dating and she knew I was polyamorous and like idk it just really weirds me out that you guys think there’s some weird either/or dichotomy here.

Harry Potter v. 1.07 patch notes:

  • Representation previously only mentioned in social media is now made explicit
  • Ron’s dialogue is now uncensored
  • Fixed bizarre bug that changed Arthur Rubeus Potter’s name to Albus Severus
  • Fixed bug which made Harry’s job say “Auror” instead of “Hogwarts’ DADA Teacher”
  • Harry no longer returns to the Dursley’s after rescuing Sirius and instead goes with him
  • Severus Snape is no longer praised nor regarded in a nice manner in any instance
  • Professor McGonagall’s Immortality is now implemented
  • “The Cursed Child” is now completely removed from canon, as it was previously added by mistake.

And hey I personally fucking hate how terfs have tried to mutate lesbian culture on this site. The other day I saw someone talking about how whenever they see a blog with the lesbian pride flag in the icon, they’re uneasy or hesitant to interact/follow because of this awful trend of trans exclusionary radfems pushing wlw pride as a front for hatred, a way to boast they’re a “real lesbian, unlike all those nasty str8 women who date trans women”. It’s such an awful tactic because whenever they repost something sapphic, something about loving women, something that should be so good and wholesome and proud, that you should never have to question whether the intentions of it are cruel, they’re doing it spitefully, they’re not saying “i love loving women” they’re saying “i only respect those who I deem to be REAL women” and they’re turning pride into a discreet statement of hate. Lesbian culture and spaces are for all lesbians, and the fact that someone showing “too much pride” is now cause for suspicion is disgusting! But make no mistake, this isn’t the fault of anyone but terfs. This isn’t lesbians and trans women being lesbophobic, I agree that it’s absolutely terrible for lesbians to see wlw pride and immediately feel suspicious, but it’s not their fault, it is the fault of the people who are trying to slip into these communities and spread their poison by putting up a front of love and pride.

Stop taking a community based on love and pride and affection and trying to turn it into your platform for hate. These wlw communities are not for you. You cannot say you love women and then turn around and dedicate your entire online presence to hating women.

so i was under the impression that academia was a haven for queer studies but did you know practically no colleges (in the US anyway) offer straight up degrees in LGBT or queer studies? like you can minor in it at a few schools or have a concentration in it through other programs like gender or sexuality studies or in interdisciplinary programs, but in my research i have so far found ONE school that even offers a bachelor’s in lgbt studies–and it’s a small liberal arts college pretty much no one has heard of – it just goes to show how marginalized our histories and cultures still are

and this is particularly striking considering the heavy-weight academics who have done important scholarship relating to queer theory or lgbt history and are  still big name faculty who draw applicants and prestige to these schools or, if they’re no longer alive, whose massive impact on academia remains to this day like Judith Butler, Foucault, Audre Lorde, Eve Sedgwick, June Jordan, Adrienne Rich, Sara Ahmed, Jack Halberstam, like the list goes on and on 

academia is willing to benefit financially and academically from queer scholars but won’t invest funding or manpower into cultivating lgbt studies itself
